background: diazinon is an organophosphorous pesticide which widely found in municipal, agricultural, and urban storm water discharges. the present study was conducted to achieve lethal concentration (lc50) and behavioral changes of rutilus rutilus caspius and hypophthal-micthys molitrix after exposure to lethal concentration of diazinon. methods: the experiment was carried out in static condit...

background: the development of toxicity tests regarding toxic responses of different fish species could be more effectively used in predictive toxicology and risk assessment. in this study lethal concentrations (lc50-96 h) values of copper sulphate an important toxic industrial pollutant, on capoeta fusca were determined. behavioral changes at different concentrations of cuso4 were determined f...

abstract in respect to nano-technological studies and physiological and biochemical lesions of these materials on aquatic animals, in this study we examine the toxicity effects of nano-zinc oxide (zno nps) on hematological indices of common carp (cyprinus carpio). lc50 of nano zinc oxide was determined according to the mortality at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours, respectively. during separate experime...

The effect of biopesticide - Derisom on certain metabolites and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were evaluated in gill, liver, kidney and muscle of Cyprinus carpio during sub-lethal toxicity exposure of 21 days. A dose of 0.28 ppm was taken as the sub-lethal dose. The organs were taken from exposed and control fish at the end of 24 hrs, 7, 14 and 21 days and used for the estimation of total ...

objective: chlorpyrifos (cpf) is a neurotoxic organophosphorus (op) insecticide. its mechanism of action includes oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, and inhibition of the acetylcholinesterase enzyme (ache). the aim of the present study is to investigate cpf toxicity in mature and immature cerebellar granule neurons (cgns), as well as its effect on glutamate induced excitotoxicity. materials and ...

in present study, it was determinated lc50 96-h and toxicity degree of diazinon in huso huso, then were evaluated effects of sub-lethal concentrations on tow general enzymatic indices including alanine and aspartate aminotransferase of plasma and one specific enzymatic index including tissue ache enzyme. the median lethal concentration, lowest observed effect concentration and maximum allowable...

The aim of this study was to investigate acute toxicity (96-hr LC50 and lethal concentrations) of waterborne metal mixture (Pb+Mn) for the fish, Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirrhina mrigala, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix. The extent of metals bio- accumulation in fish body organs viz. gills, liver, kidney, fins, bones, muscle and skin at both 96-hr LC50 and lethal conce...

Acute toxicity of commercial grade organophosphate insecticide, quinalphos (25% emulsified concentration) to common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was tested through bioassay. The acute toxicity of quinalphos to the fingerlings exposed for 96 hr was found to be 2.75 ppm. For sub lethal toxicity study, the fish were exposed to two concentration viz., 1/10th of LC50 (0.275 ppm) and 1/5th of LC50 (0.55 pp...

Environmental safety assessments for exposure of birds require the provision of acute avian toxicity data for both the pesticidal active substance and formulated products. As an example, testing on the formulated product is waived in Europe using an assessment of data for the constituent active substance(s). This is often not the case globally, because some countries require acute toxicity test...
